A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
The research inventory required further clarity surrounding some of the research descriptions that the faculty provided in answering our survey. Keywords were defined where needed and the research or exhibitions mentioned were looked into further to get a better understanding of how they connected to environmental and social sustainability. Direct quotes were taken from press releases, articles, and CVs of the faculty on this project and all sources were listed in a separate column of the spreadsheet.

How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:
Each offering or section of a course was counted as an individual course

A brief description of how courses with multiple offerings or sections were counted:
Courses with both 100- (undergraduate) and 200+ (graduate) course offerings were counted in both the undergraduate and graduate course inventories.
